WOW, some of my favorite things all in one place. Woolen blankets, a covered porch, and an open fire in a proper raised-hearth fireplace instead of a pit. What a great spot to rock and read and enjoy the outdoors while warming yourself. YES. via

Chestnuts
My driveway is full of chestnuts. I've always wondered why they grow in such a dangerous and painfully prickly package. Anytime I see Webster limping this time of year, I know he must have stepped on one. He usually avoids this side of the house entirely until they have all fallen and been raked in a big pile. I've been picking up the loose ones for roasting later. When I have on thick leather gloves, I'll pick up the ones still in the pods. They are very messy trees to have as close to your house as mine is. Earlier in the year it dropped tassels on my roof and filled up the gutters. Grumble, grumble.

Webster's Sofa Bed
He sleeps here every night. He thinks I don't know.
I hear his feet hit the floor just after mine do in the other room.
Tonight I put a blanket there for him. He was surprised, but thrilled. Good Night, Everyone. I'm getting ready to tuck in too. I hope I can stay awake for tonight's episode of Broadchurch on BBC America.
An Amazing Lake House
Is this a dream? Have you ever seen anything more beautiful? Some people are beach people, preferring the ocean, and some people are mountain people, loving a lake. I honestly haven't had that much beach experience in my life. I didn't even see the ocean until I was in the 4th grade. We always went to the mountains. I have fond memories of cabins and waterfalls and I think this scene looks absolutely heavenly. via
A Great Place to Sit and Enjoy Fall
I have never turned on my heat in September but I was tempted to break my rule this morning. Wouldn't this be a great place to sit and enjoy watching the fall colors come and go? via

Newborn Animal Friends

I think we are so fortunate these days to have better equipment to take care of the snow. I'm so lucky to live on a county road that is plowed around the clock. I'm having my furnace serviced for the winter on Friday. I still have visions in my head of getting stuck in the snow on a pretty regular basis when I was young and we lived in Pennsylvania. Do people even use chains on their tires these days? What are you doing to get ready for winter?
